EOUTFORTHF - An Outline Processor
(C) Copyright 1990 Norman L. Hills
EOUTFORTHF is a basic outline processor, designed to provide fast and easy
entry and re-organization of outlines. It is ideal for brainstorming and
general organization of any written document. Complete printing facilities
are included in the outliner. While the basic functions are kept as
easy as possible, it does include extended functions for Find &/or
Replace and output to ASCII or Wordstar disk files. Headings are one
line each (up to 79 characters) with a convenient line editor provided.
^T flags a line as text to be printed without numbering - this allows
you to write paragraphs under numbered headings if you wish.
Complete Help windows are available at any time by pressing F1.
EGetting started.F
Now it is time to start up the program by typing OUTFORTH <Enter>.
Any other entries on the command line will be ignored. You EmustF
have at least 83K of free memory available for OUTFORTH.
Press "r" and type the filename "outforth" <Enter>. This reads the
OUTFORTH.OTL file into memory. The .OTL extension signifies an
outline format file. Press "o" and you are in the Outliner, viewing
additional information about keys not explained in the HELP windows.
Use the F1 key to review the functions available. You may wish to "ESC"
& "P"rint this file for reference; set the Indent amount to "3" before
printing and try the "B" numbering option.
When OUTFORTH is started, or when you specify "N"ew in the Run menu,
entering the Outliner with "o" gives you a blank outline without a
filename. Press <Enter> to edit (enter text) in the first heading.

EMiscellaneous.F
The embedded control codes in outlines for Bold and Italics are the
same as the equivalent functions in WordStar files produced with the
"Word-Processing-Save" function. Use the global replace function
in WordStar to convert literal ^U's ( ^P^U) to the WordStar underline
code. After inserting extra hard carriage returns before and after
a block of outline text, the paragraph re-form function will work.
Most keyboard enhancers may be used to generate macro text that will
be accepted by the OUTFORTH Editor.
